Chapter 95: Buried At The Bottom.
Edited by: Mochiusagi
Shen Changqing immediately retracted his sword, moving into a defensive position.
The moment he retracted his sword, Hongyi’s attack had arrived. Her palm hit the sword, bursting with cold aura.
“Hah!”
Shen Changqing did not retreat. Instead his Qi surged and the frosted sword was immediately covered by a heat wave.
With the scorching temperature, Hongyi’s expression changed. She unconsciously took a step back.
At the same time, when she stepped back, Shen Changqing’s sword swung in a crescent moon arc and beheaded several Corpse Puppets that had approached him.
Without pause, Shen Changqing rushed to the other Corpse Puppets like a wolf in a herd of sheep.
He must first deal with the mob. It was because although Hongyi’s strength was strong, in a one-on-one situation, Shen Changqing was certain that he could win.
Currently, the Corpse Puppets were very annoying and he wouldn’t be able to focus on Hongyi.
Although Shen Changqing didn’t know how these Corpse Puppets were refined and why they didn’t reveal the slightest hint of Evil Aura, their strength was not much different from the Corpse Puppets in Lin’an City.
They were equivalent to a Body Forging Realm Cultivator.
Currently, the beautiful girls of the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion looked hideous, just like what had happened to Yanyan.
Meanwhile, as Shen Changqing slaughtered the Corpse Puppets, Hongyi waited for opportunities to attack together with the Corpse Puppets.
However, as the fight prolonged, Hongyi’s shock grew.
When did the Demon Suppression Division have such a powerhouse?
According to the news from the Eternal Life Alliance, Shen Changqing had clearly only been in the Demon Suppression Division for less than three years.
Yet, he’s already this strong?
Hongyi believed that if the news spreads, it would definitely shake the Eternal Life Alliance.
At the same time, if she could kill such a powerful person and absorb his Life Essence, she would definitely be able to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
The monster equivalent for it was Fury Level.
“Kill!”
“I must kill him!”
Thinking of the Grandmaster Realm, Hongyi licked her red lips, and her green eyes were filled with burning desire.
[Swish-]
Her figure disappeared and the next moment, she was already running towards Shen Changqing.
She saw that Shen Changqing was distracted, so she took the offensive.
Feeling the wind blow, Shen Changqing dodged, making it so she didn’t hit any vital parts. Nonetheless, her sharp claws still pierced through the Level 7 [Impregnable Golden Body].
His shirt was torn, and Hongyi’s palm sank directly into Shen Changqing’s body; piercing through his back.
Alas, before Hongyi could celebrate, her face suddenly changed. She found that her palm, which had pierced Shen Changqing’s body, was being clamped down by a powerful force. She couldn’t pull it out.
“It’s my turn!”
Shen Changqing grinned. The severe pain aroused the fierceness hidden in his heart.
The Cold Moon Sword then descended, cutting off Hongyi’s entire arm.
Jet-black blood sprayed out and a lot of it splashed onto Shen Changqing’s body, causing his flesh to corrode.
At the same time, Hongyi let out a shrill scream. While clutching her broken arm, she immediately retreated.
""
“You lunatic!”
She clutched her broken arm and stared at Shen Changqing in horror. Her arm was still stuck on Shen Changqing’s body, and the corrosion of her blood made Shen Changqing’s state look extremely terrifying.
[Poof~]!
At this time, Shen Changqing pulled out the arm and threw it onto the ground.
The [Impregnable Golden Body] also frantically repaired his injuries. Though, compared to the severity of the hole in his body, it could only barely stop the bleeding.
Black blood dripped from the sword to the ground, corroding holes in the ground of the bluestone slabs.
“Looks like your injuries are more serious than mine!”
Shen Changqing licked his chapped lips, as his mad and tyrannical eyes fell on Hongyi.
Since he came to this world, this was the most injured he became in battle.
But——
During this battle, Shen Changqing found that something in his body was awakened.
That feeling was making him addicted.
“It’s really a pity that you didn’t join the Eternal Life Alliance!”
Hongyi’s face was cold, and the wound on her broken arm was gradually scabbing. Although she didn’t regenerate it, it was no longer bleeding.
“I guess, Jin City is going to be destroyed after all. However, with your strength alone, it is impossible to change the outcome.”
“Since you didn’t join the Eternal Life Alliance, then be buried with Jin City!”
“Even if I am also going down, I will make sure that it is you who will be buried at the bottom——”
At this time, Shen Changqing’s body suddenly moved, and he rushed forward like an arrow. His sword slid across the ground, bringing up a series of sparks.
Immediately after, he stomped his left foot and he leaped into the air. Using both hands to tightly grip the sword, he cut down towards Hongyi.
Feeling the power contained in the sword, Hongyi chose to retreat.
The moment her figure faded, the sword hit the ground.
It caused the bluestone slab to crack, spreading like a web; far and wide.
Shen Changqing’s perception was maximized. Only after confirming that Hongyi really retreated, did he look around.
All of the Corpse Puppets had now been dealt with.
At a glance, there were at least one or two hundred Corpse puppets.
God knows how long those Corpse Puppets had been dead for, because after being killed, they quickly started decaying. The gruesome scene was vomit-inducing.
Shen Changqing took out a bottle of Qi and Blood from his sleeves.
Shen Changqing didn’t even think about it and just ate it.
As the pills entered his abdomen, surging Qi and Blood burst out from them.
True Qi surged up in his dantian, forcibly consuming this supplement, the nourishment needed by his body.
A few breaths later, Shen Changqing felt that the wounds on his body became itchy. At the same time, the places corroded by blood had recovered by a lot.
“It’s really troublesome dealing with monsters.”
Looking at his injury, Shen Changqing shook his head helplessly.
Fortunately, his [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi] had broken through to the unprecedented Level 14. He had absorbed the characteristics of [Pure Yang True Qi] itself. Otherwise, the Cold Aura carried by the attack from Hongyi would have frozen his blood.
It’s a good thing that he didn’t get killed.
After simply recovering from the injury, Shen Changqing stopped going to Tianyi Luo.
The battle was so loud, yet it didn’t attract the attention of anyone. Combined with what Hongyi said, he knew that something big would happen in Jin City.
Walking down the street, the surrounding dwellings were pitch black, as if no one existed.
Fortunately, when Shen Changqing came to the street where Tianyi Lou was located, the surrounding environment became normal.
It was because of the curfew time, no people dared to go out for a walk.
But looking at the closed doors and the occasional bright lights, it proved that someone was there.
Shen Changqing’s terrifying appearance immediately aroused the shock of a waiter.
“Shen, Young Master Shen—”
“I’m fine, immediately prepare for water to be sent to my room and a set of clean clothes.”
Shen Changqing simply said and walked directly to the third floor.
Not long after he returned to his room, someone knocked on the door.
Opening the door, he saw that it was Yu San and the other was Zhong Chi.
The former was carrying a large bucket of steaming hot water, while the other was holding clothes.
After pouring the water in the wooden barrel in the room, Yu San retreated.
Zhong Chi placed the clothes on the table and looked at Shen Changqing’s miserable appearance. His face became solemn.
“Lord Shen, did something happen?”
“Indeed, something has happened!”
As Shen Changqing spoke, he did not shy away from Zhong Chi, and simply undressed in front of the other party. He then went into the wooden bucket to wash the filth off his body.
It was only when he was completely soaked in the barrel, did he look at Zhong Chi, and tell him what had happened.
Zhong Chi’s express was now as gloomy as the water.
“If Lord Shen’s words are correct, then something big might really happen. The Zhou Family was destroyed and now the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion has also torn their facade. I’m afraid that the Eternal Life Alliance has other purposes!”
Since the Eternal Life Alliance made the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion as their stronghold in Jin City, it would definitely not be for no reason.
Even though the purpose of the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion was to let Hongyi find an opportunity to break through to the Grandmaster Realm, someone like her was not necessarily indispensable to the huge Eternal Life Alliance.
The Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion was collecting information about the city and was actually better in helping the Eternal Life Alliance obtain greater benefits.
After all, intelligence strongholds could play a bigger role in the bigger picture.
Unless–
The Eternal Life Alliance did not intend to keep the Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion for a long time.
Shen Changqing said calmly: “Based on what the monster said, it seems that Jin City will be destroyed soon. It is very likely that the Eternal Life Alliance will have some big moves.”
“Follow the movement of the Eternal Life Alliance, and at the same time, report this matter to the Demon Suppression Division. When necessary, have them send support.”
With this, Zhong Chi calmed down a bit. Shen Changqing was right.
